Well, a lot of people don't buy AMD for a number of reasons. I wanted to test this, so I bought a radeon rx 6700 (non-xt).

    First mistake is reading redditors opinions
  • The Nvidia brand loyalty phenomenon is really bizarre to observe. I own gpus from both companies and i am pleased with their products.
  • @fcssensai
    AMD was only doing so poorly because Intel bribed Dell and HP into not using their competitor's hardware in their pc's for years. AMD also is constantly making all of their work open-source and drastically pushing things forward.

    I've been very happy with my 6800XT. I did my research before buying (unlike most people apparently) and used DDU before installing drivers. Ive had absolutely no issues and I love it. It was $100 cheaper than a 3080Ti, and considering its very acceptable performance in RTX, I feel as I am missing out on nothing.
  • @miraveilyt
    Recently I've switched from RTX2080 to an RX 7900XT due to Nvidia's insane pricing of their 4000 series and I've got no regrets so far
  • @AwfullyOllie0706
    Anyone who tells you AMD has driver issues is still living in 2016

    I've always used NVIDIA gpus, whether in laptops, or for the last 2 years in my desktop with a 3060ti, but last month, I switched to a 6750XT after having thermal throttling causing my screen to go black on my 3060Ti, and I have had zero issues so far. I've been really impressed with how many features come with the AMD Adrenalin software compared to GeForce Experience. My card has been running great and even with an overclock it runs cool and quiet. I might be a team RED gamer from now on.

    Side note, the "in game" hotkey for the overlay (default is Alt+R) also works on the desktop. Alt+R on the desktop also opens the adrenaline software as if you right clicked a blank spot and clicked it manually

    AMD graphic cards are just fine for 95% of people and come in at a much more reasonable cost. I have a couple of 6650xt's and they are beasts for what I paid.
  • @Destrado_
    I made the switch to AMD after EVGA exited the GPU market. I bought EVGA cards only for over a decade. I now have an XFX 7900 XTX. I could not be happier with the performance of the card.
  • @razerguy100
    Thank you very much for the review. I was contemplating and switching to AMD but was scared about the reviews but u have made that easier.
  • @kamirupl
    Last week, I moved from nvidia MSI 1070gtx to AMD Sapphire Pulse 6700 xt. Couldn't be happier. The only 1 issue I had was mismatch of drivers and software suite, but it happened due to my own mistake. Card performs great, and power draw after undervolting is quite low.
  • @Vayr0n
    I was initially going for a 3060 Ti, but when I saw videos about recent games struggling because of the lack of vram on nvidia GPUs I changed my mind an went with 6700XTwhich was cheaper and had 12 GB of vram instead of 8 GB on the 3060 Ti. I had the card for a week now and im amazed by the adrenalin software and drivers, absolutely no regrets.
  • @tetradb_
    I bought my X370 platform 6 years ago, 1700X & Vega64. Just a month ago I installed a 5800X3D and 6950 XT into that same system. AMD has been great for me.
  • @ElRoc
    I've worked and gamed on an old laptop with a 1050 (not Ti) for over 8 years and this month I built my first PC ever. I chose the RX 7800 XT cause there was a special offer on all products in a store, and I honestly couldn't pass the opportunity. It's worked absolutely amazingly, and the software is just great. As someone that had to play with everything on the lowest settings, never reaching above 30 FPS, and playing at lower than 1080 resolutions all this time, this feels like a dream, and I honestly feel like I paid almost nothing for all the performance I'm getting
  • I started with with 5600xt as my first gpu ever even though I had heard about all the driver issues. I had lots of driver issues with my 5600xt but everything started to smooth out turned out to be a good experience because it taught my how to tweak settings on graphics cards, pc settings, etc . Now I have 6700xt and I’m loving it😀
  • @samdaman117
    I got my first AMD GPU a few weeks ago. The RX 6700 XT. and i'll be honest, i've been on a rollercoaster. the AMD adrenalin software was very intimidatingat first because i had absolutely NO IDEA what all these settings did; I just wanted to turn my computer on and play. on the plus side though, it's incredible how much control this software gives to the user. W for AMD👍
  • @rrsharizam
    Recently built my first gaming PC. I chose AMD despite hearing about all those driver problems. The first few weeks, I encountered some minor issues, but enough to get me nervous about my purchase decision. I got mad and thought Nvidia cards would never have these issues. Then, my brother bought a PC with RTX 3050, so I tried his. Turned out, Nvidia cards also have some driver issues, some are a bit worse than AMD, but people rarely talk about it.
  • @exoticdachoo007
    People often forget how important DDU can be when switching GPUs. I switched a while ago and had massive issues until I used DDU to do a clean install of brand new drivers and haven't had any issues with AMD since then. Perfect performance for more than half the price of NVidia products.
  • @leeroy1961
    People who say amd is bad are stuck 5 years ago and never bothered actually researching modern amd.
